Of course he would close borders - he thinks trade wars are easy to win and it’s an easy sell to his racist base.

Of course he’d sign The stimulus bill - it made looting the country even easier.

Of course he’d have a task force - he’d liquidated those who could bring him to task (and incidentally do the rest of the country some good) and a task force is an opportunity to sell appointments on hand and then dispose of them with little ceremony later. Oh yeah right that task force that isn’t exactly setting policy these days.

When you have no shame, no decency and make every decision as a means to win the zero sum game immediately in front of you, well, you don’t have to be smart, you don’t need to have a plan and the most opportunistic scum will leap to your aid as a means to facilitate their own graft.

This political mistake is little different than all of his other shitty, petty, and unpardonable catastrophes. Treason big and small.
